Maude she lost her buttons.

 Recent Cards 




Made from:
Original dressmaking patterns & knitting catalogues dating approximately 1955-1965
A variety of glass, bakelite, fabric, tin & plastic buttons, all vintage
A large orange 1960's belt buckle
 French vintage woven cotton trim with the number "8" on it..

Inspired by:
Little old ladies button collections
My mother's mother Phyllis, who sewed all the family's clothes,
including their underwear
My mother's father Norman, who worked in a rag factory,
& brought home fabric remnants in his Gladstone bag
Watching too many re-runs of Bewitched & I Dream of Jeannie
